Of all the episodes, this was the one that caught my attention, not because of the story, but because of the casting of Joan Sims as the lead, the Carry of favourite a tremendous straight actress.
Arguably Amelia Dyer is one of the most famous, evil killers in British history, The Reading Baby Farmer had a horrific twenty years of some of the most horrific crimes of all time.
I have to commend the superb performance of Sims, this series has varied in quality quite a lot, but this series finale is one of the better episodes, that's all down to Sims.
Having read the history of Dyer, I can't help feeling that the portrayal of the character is perhaps a little too warm, too soft, the impression I got of Dyer was a cold, calculated murderess. It's scripted in such a way that you're left with a feeling of doubt as to her guilt.
Well made, well produced, very well acted, a strong episode, 8/10
